Merry Christmas Whitney. We love and miss you more than you'll ever know. We hope you enjoy your Christmas tree as much as we loved making it for you. You were our Thanksgiving craft. Hudson, Harper, Leilani and Raelyn all put decorations on the tree all by themselves. We wanted you to have a little bit of home for Christmas. We know you are doing the Lord's work and are all very proud of you. Every time I see Raelyn (in the picture) she says Whitney on mission about Jesus. I miss her. Who else misses Auntie Whitney? My Grammy and Lani. Who else? Boppa, Mommy, Daddy, Hudson and Harper. Raelyn and I were listening to the Motab Christmas CD while making a gingerbread house. Raelyn says that is Whitney's music. She recognized the choir from Whitney's blog that she always wants to see and hear. Whitney, thanks for being an example to your nieces and nephews and to all of your family and friends.
We can't wait to talk to you Dec 27 from the airport. Then on to the wonderful people of Paraguay who are waiting for you.
Love you,
Mom, Dad, Brian, Amy, Raelyn, Chris, Keri, Nicole, Justin, Hudson, Harper, David, Lindsay, Leilani, Miles and Mike

On Aug 11, 2010, in a BYU apartment full of friends and family, Whitney read the words "you have been called to labor in the Paraguay - Asuncion Mission." The surprise, hooting, hollering, shaking, fears, tears of joy and excitement filled the room. Then the peace and calm filled our hearts. Whitney Elizabeth Plummer has chosen to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The sisters of our church serve for 18 months. During Whitney's mission she will be known as Hermana Plummer. Hermana Plummer will report to the Mission Training Center in Provo, UT on Oct. 27, 2010. While in the MTC she will learn how to be a missionary and learn the Spanish language. She will depart SLC for Asuncion Paraguay on Dec 27, 2010. Our family will be updating her website with emails and pictures. May the Lord bless you and keep you our darling, precious Whitney. We miss you already but know this is what you are to do at this tine in your life.
